Samba dies when DNS stops? eh?

["Steven Hildreth" <steven aprotex com>]

Ok, so any ideas on why my private IP samba server, which is also the lan
WINS server dies (quit's talking to the Windows clients) when the DNS server
is shutdown? I have put the ALL:10.10. in the /etc/hosts.allow file and also
in the smb.conf file.

Perhaps samba is needing something else other than the DNS, if I set the
Host resolution to not use DNS what else will this effect. This machine is a
samba server only, does nothing else.

Both samba and the DNS machine are running Redhat 6.1

Thanks for anything..
